[QUOTE="Doc Hudson, post: 485330, member: 1607"] Part P Building regulations came into effect on Jan 1 2005. However irrespective of that ALL electrical work should have an appropriate electrical certificate issued and signed by the person(s) doing the design/installation/inspection & testing. But also even if suitable electrical certificate was issued in 2005, the next periodic inspection & test would typically be no greater than 10 years, So it should have been re inspected and tested approx. 2015. Fire rated down lights are only required where they potentially breach a fire compartment. Most single dwelling properties are a single fire compartment, or possible double if there is an integral garage. An electrical certificate is absolutely 100% required, this has been a fundamental requirement of BS7617 (wiring regulations). Back in Jan 2005 the applicable regulations would have been what we call the 16th edition. (we are now on the 18th edition since Jan 2019). Chapter 133 of BS7671 : 2001 gives guidance on inspection and testing and certification. (e.g. Regulation 133-02-01) Doc H. ` [/QUOTE]
